290G Peninsula Tank

Thanks everyone...yeah I have an older phone so pics aren't spectacular, but my wife just got a new Galaxy S3 and so I'll steal it for some pics shortly.

gotta love building a tank with a house. everything fits together so perfectly!

[mseepman]

Yeah, although timing seems to be out of my control...so you trade fit/finish for timeliness.

Got some of my plumbing finally in...funny how difficult it was to get some of this stuff in Canada.

Here's a TrueWye, 2" with graduated reduction to dual 1" pipes for less head pressure.



And here are the expanders that I will use to bridge between some fixed slip pipes already in place. They extend up to 3" and were cheaper than unions.

Mostly Collapsed:

Kool parts
Hurry up and get it wet already

OK, I gather it'll still be awhile ... but we're gettin' antsy

What's your move-in date, and any anticipated water-testing soon ?

C'mon c'mon c'mon, stop teasing us

Jeez, if I lived up there I'd be volunteering to plumb it

[mseepman]

haha...I wish there were more of you around! Gonna try moving in on the 19th if Murphy doesn't have anything to say about it. I will continue to plumb things when I get back on Friday. The fish room is dependent on my contractor...I need the floors finished and he's also putting laminate on the bench holding my sump. We were waiting on the HRV to get fixed (circuit board was DOA) so that we could suck out the ugly fumes from the floor epoxy.

Well the big move to the house is tomorrow...at least for most of my furniture. My 70G tank is staying at the old house while I try to get this one going. Got lots of plumbing still to do and my sump isn't moved or plumbed yet either.

Thought I would fire off a pic of the boards in place that will run my LED. I have to "reconnect" all the wires now that it's up. Hidden nicely if I do say so. They roll out for working on them on drawer slides.
